You just know they're all haplotype enthusiasts.

So, industrial facilities and power plants do this, pump cooling water out of a river and return it. However, this obviously needs a river, has to be filtered first and generally has to stop once it gets too warm. In any case, needs significant infrastructure.

Or not, because if it looked like this, someone would have done it in the 19th century.

So a Babelfish seems feasible now (if unidirectional).

I mean, that's pretty useful. You can repurpose that for many neat things. The chips are going to be outdated in a few years anyway, though.

Well, does he have a bluesky?

I'd think the uses for this sort of bandwidth are also a bit limited at this point.

Still, a little more than 100 years between this and Louis XIV. (I imagine he might not have used the HRE for Italian reasons.)

Of course he would! France as the epitome of decentralised authority serves as a useful reminder how things can change, I guess.

Well, just thinking of Gaugamela, which was pretty decisive. But yeah, also about the inherent resilience of the warring entities.

There may also be the slight issue that pay is shit?

They sort of did in spirit (Beyond Earth), but it didn't turn out that great.

Still don't quite get why Trump would care so much about two random British manfluencers. 🤷♂️

I wouldn't have thought Lagarde was already in the mood for sinecures, either.

Right. Although I think their platonic ideal of proper programming also comes with its own difficulties.

At least he died a natural death, which is more than could be said for his next, uh, 20 or so successors.

The problem is that these names still trigger going on to an internal mini-essay about the Lanthanide contraction.

They aren't doing this for fun. They'll probably start to shill crypto. Or ask for money outright.

Well, having had a quick look at the source (which no longer exists, but Destatis has a new one), I suspect this misinterprets the data. It's measuring beer sales by incidence of beer tax, which is mostly when it leaves the brewery. So it's dominated by (large) production sites.

Unfortunately, they don't look like the most vigorous languages.

This may well be part of it, especially how it's being sold internally. But I still doubt this would be happening if there weren't key members of Labour's leadership who genuinely believe it's the right thing to do.

They're locked in one-upmanship with the Navy and their F/A-18 losses.

If Germany exports more fashion to Italy and France than vice versa, what's next? Wine and cheese?

I really wouldn't have expected those figures for Europe, and especially Germany.

Well, there's also the matter that your grandad and his colleagues took stuff out of this mine, so there might simply not be much left to extract.

It's not the one that has been turned into a bicycle tunnel for close to CHF 40 million, set to be opened in a couple of weeks? www.stadt-zuerich.ch/de/mobilitae... Ah well, we'll see.

Funny thing, the last real-life conversation I had about compliance was with a friend who used to run a company producing industrial measuring instruments. So yes, that's quite involved. It's also an essential component of the value of the product.

I think they should all shave off their lashes, then go for the full Vancian mascara treatment. Just to have all bases covered.

Right now, this is mostly just somewhat humiliating. Merz can technically still be elected just fine, with a simple majority if need be. It might be trivia in a few years time. Or it could galvanise the internal opposition.

How fortunate Merz is famously cool-headed and will just smooth this over with the maximum possible grace.
